This paper discusses the strategies for the future qf the Hong Kong Port and Buasn Port. We assess whether they prepare the ports for the position of being the logistics hub, and as such could assist the ports to maintain their position in the world's container port. We reviewed both the current situation qf the Hong Kong Port and the strategy of the port for the future (Master Plan 2020) to keep the status of logistics hub. With the case study on the Port of Hong Kong, this study attempts to examine what the strategic planning is needed for the Busan Port. We debate the Port of Busan could be seen as a logistics chain for the future. In our discussion, the strategic planning on "Port Vision 2020" for Port of Busan does not address the issues regarding this part, nor does it make any recommendations in terms of the requirement of the logistics private sector.

The circumstances surrounding world ports have changed rapidly and port competition to attract cargoes has been increasing fiercely. Specifically, deploying large container vessels resulted fewer port visits and strategic alliance among liner shipping companies. Recently, many studies have worked for improving port competitiveness. However, these studies were limited to evaluation of only port competitiveness and few studies suggested strategies for reinforcing port competitiveness. Although implications of these previous studies are practically available to build policies for port, there have been very few academic studies such as identifying port competitiveness and port selection with related attributes for reasonable evaluation and analysis. Therefore, this study aims to classify the existing studies, which dealt with port selection problem, based on basic structure that was suggested by Murphy (1992). Furthermore, the conceptual definition will be carried out by comparison analysis in terms of time of study, type of data and methodology and decision factor of each study.

4차 산업혁명에 따른 변화는 COVID-19 Pandemic으로 더욱 가속화되고 있다. 이에 사회와 산업의 다양한 분야에서 급격한 변화가 예상된다. 해운물류 산업 역시 환경 및 기술 변화에 따라 스마트화가 시급한 상황이다. 하지만 우리나라의 경우 선진국과 비교하여 해운물류기술의 스마트화가 미진한 상황이다. 많은 관련 주체들과 복잡한 업무처리를 스마트화하기 위해서는 최신 기술들을 활용하여 원활한 의사소통과 가시적인 확인이 중요하다. 스마트 해운물류에서 이러한 가시화와 커뮤니케이션이 더 중요하게 부각된다. 본 연구에서는 자율운항선박과 스마트 항만 간의 통합 커뮤니케이션을 위한 도구를 제시하고자 한다. 특히, 다양한 주체가 참여하여 복잡한 업무처리를 하게 되는 자율운항선박의 접안 및 상·하역 작업의 요구 사항들을 충족시키는 디지털 트윈 기반의 커뮤니케이션 도구 개발에 대해 연구를 하였다.

In recent times, an obvious strategy in liner shipping markets that has come to the fore is slow steaming. Nowadays, most liner shipping companies have decelerated the voyage speed to 15-18 knots on major routes, and some leading liner shipping companies have a plan to reduce it to below 15 knots. Slow steaming is helpful in reducing the operating cost and the amount of greenhouse-gas emissions on a single vessel with lower fuel consumption. However, it also creates various negative effects such as the opportunity cost, additional fixed costs and an in-transit inventory cost on a loop. Hence, the net operating cost on a loop is changing dynamically due to the changes of voyage speed based on various slow steaming effects. The aim of this study is to analyze the slow steaming effects in the liner shipping, and to find the best voyage speed that minimizes the operating cost on a loop. Moreover, this study suggests the recommendable strategy for liner shipping companies. To achieve the aim of this study, a simulation model has been designed using System Dynamics.

This research seeks to improve the understanding of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its advantages in the shipping sector. Recently, an improved emphasis on CSR, which incorporates environmental and social concerns into economic considerations of firms, can be found in business management and marketing literature. This is mainly because of people's increased awareness in regards to the negative consequences of corporate activities such as increased environmental pollution and gaps between the rich and the poor. According to the previous literature, it has been revealed that responsible actions by companies can generate positive outcomes in terms of financial and time aspects, but more importantly, intangible equity of the company, including improved corporate reputation, image as well as brand. As the regulation is intensifying in regards to environmental and social responsibility in the shipping sector, shipping companies are trying to engage in CSR to gain competitive advantages. While the reputation and image of shipping companies play essential roles for developing sustainable maritime transport, few studies have been conducted for how the CSR of shipping companies influence the shipping companies' reputation and image relative to other industries. In this regard, this study aims to investigate the effect of the corporate social responsibility on corporate reputation and image of shipping companies on the basis of an exploratory study in the Republic of Korea. This research would be beneficial to both academics and practitioners for developing useful CSR strategies which could promote the public's recognition of the shipping sector.

The objective of this study was to establish whether global macroeconomic indicators affect the profitability of Korean shipping companies by using panel regression analysis. OROA (operating return on assets) and ROA (ratio of net profit to assets) were selected as proxy variables for profitability. OROA and ROA were used as dependent variables. The world GDP growth rate, interest rate, exchange rate, stock index, bunker price, freight, demand and supply of the world shipping market were set as independent variables. The size of the firm was added to the control variable. For small-sized firms, OROA was not affect by macroeconomic indicators. However, ROA was affected by variables such as interest rates, bunker prices, and size of firms. For medium-sized firms, OROA was affected by demand, supply, GDP, freight, and asset variables. However, macroeconomic indicators did not affect ROA. For large-sized firms, freight, GDP, and stock index (SCI; Shanghai Composite Index) have an effect on OROA. ROA was analyzed to be influenced by bunker price and SCI.

국제 해운시장에서는 규칙적이고 반복적으로 이루어지는 정기선 서비스의 특수성을 인정하여 정기선사 간의 과당 경쟁을 방지하고 항로의 질서 유지와 안정화를 위해 국제 카르텔인 해운동맹의 결성을 인정하였다. 하지만 선박대형화와 복합운송의 발달 그리고 비동맹선사의 세력확대로 인하여 해운동맹은 와해되기 시작하였으며 결국 폐지되기에 이르렀다. 정기선 시장에서 중요한 역할을 담당했던 해운동맹이 폐지되면서 정기선 시장의 경쟁구도는 변화를 겪기 시작하였다. 따라서 해운동맹의 폐지가 정기선 시장에 미친 영향에 대한 연구가 필요하게 되었으며 해운동맹의 폐지로 인하여 영향을 받은 요소를 선정하여 상관분석과 다중 회귀분석을 통하여 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 해운동맹의 폐지로 인하여 각 선사들은 선복량 증가로 운임 경쟁이 심화되었고 결국 비용구조가 유리한 선사는 수익을 창출하고 그렇지 못한 선사는 적자를 기록하게 되었다.

The efficiency and effectiveness of freight transportation within and across Northeast Asia playa key role to achieve competitive advantages against other competing hubs in this area. However, the majority of local freight has been carried by ground transportation and the share of costal shipping has been decreasing for its transportational complexity and poor cargo works. In this paper, we discuss the prerequisites of efficient cargo linkage system from the perspectives of road, rail, ocean, and the service providers. Specifically, we identify that the balanced capacity of road/rail transportation system with costal freight system is a crucial component for facilitating coastal shipping. Other requirements such as the efficient on-dock container yard (ODCY), dedicated ports and ships, and the service provider of door-to-door transportation for short sea shipping are highlighted in order to secure the serviceability and availability of streamlined costal shipping. Further, we elaborate these requirements to facilitate costal cargo shipping in Korea.
